We got to call out the refs and flopper Mavs

    I've never said that at all. I said one game might certainly go against one team more than another. I said that most times over the course of a series the calls even out. We have gotten away with some moving screens. Nobody was saying the refs handed the game when we were getting away with them. It just isn't right to complain that the refs give them the game when we don't get away with them.


    That is the point I was making. You can only control what you do on the court. I know it is easier said than done. But it is easier to put yourself in a position where the refs can't decide the game than to blame everything on the refs.

    I don't post that much in this forum anymore either. I also don't blame any fans for looking at it through Rocket Fan colored glasses. When I watch the game that is certainly how I see it. I yell scream and curse the refs, and wish they would get cramps in their calves.

    But I understand that I am seeing it through my Rockets tint. You are also probably right that most folks haven't gone overboard with your comments. It is probably the accumalation of many not overboard comments after every game during the regular season, or playoffs, that has in my mind lumped them all together.

    I know I'm not qualified to say the refs make way more calls against us than they do for us, or let us get away with. I know of some calls we have gotten away with. But the point is that I don't think any of us are unbiased enough to make quantitative call vs. call decision here, and blame the folks on the floor who aren't playing.

    I apologize. It looks like I was wrong about blaming the refs. We got screwed.

    This is why I voted you as the most reasonable/legit poster in the Hangout/D&D when there was a poll taken last year.
